It looks like we Democrats might already have our Zell Miller of 2016: former Virginia Senator Jim Webb.
You remember Zell Miller: He's the former Democratic Senator from Georgia who went all googoo-eyed over the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, and who unloaded (and we mean unloaded) on John Kerry at the 2004 Republican convention. The guy, to put it mildly, came off like a nut.
Now Jim Webb is averring that he may vote for Donald Trump. His timing is interesting, since it's the day after the worst Republican debate in history and the day that the world is throwing up over a visual it now cannot unsee — that of Willard Mitt Romney on his knees and, um, servicing The Donald. (Gosh, Ann must be furious.)
Well, no worries — we always did think that Jim Webb was a little strange. Is it possible that he'd rather go to Cleveland this summer than to Philadelphia? If so, we cats say, vaya con Dios, amigo. Democrats speaking at the Republican convention will be far, far outnumbered by Republicans speaking at ours.
And who could blame them? More than one pundit and politico has invoked the specter of Chicago 1968 when imagining what could go down at the RNC this July. We cats don't want anybody to get hurt, but the idea of an all-out Republican war? Well, it makes us PURR.
